Today, Lahore, Gujrat, and Muzaffarabad are enjoying a refreshing change. The rain started early, giving these cities a cool, pleasant start to the day. Imagine waking up to the sound of rain tapping against your window, the air fresh and cool. That’s the reality for residents here right now, and they couldn’t be happier.
But if you’re in Karachi, it’s a different story. By 7 AM, the temperature had already hit a sweltering 38 degrees Celsius. It’s one of those scorching days where stepping outside feels like stepping into an oven. People are desperately looking for shade and any sign of relief from the unrelenting heat.
The Meteorological Department tells us more rain and thunderstorms are on the way for northeastern Punjab, the Potohar region, Islamabad, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. This means more folks might get the break they’ve been waiting for. But for most of the country, the forecast remains hot and humid.
Just yesterday, Sibi and Nokundi hit a blazing 47 degrees Celsius, setting a blistering high for the day. It’s quite a contrast to the cool, rainy vibes in parts of Punjab and Kashmir today.
Whether you’re soaking in the rain or sweating it out in the heat, these weather changes show just how diverse Pakistan’s climate can be. Let’s hope for more rain to cool things down and bring some much-needed relief from this heatwave.
